Lord Franklin chords by Pentangle

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD               G+G
I was homeward bound one night on the deep
E minorEm             A augmentedA
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
   D MajorD           G+G     D MajorD
I dreamed a dream and I thought it true
E minorEm      A augmentedA        G+G   D MajorD   G+G
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew

D MajorD              G+G
With a hundred seamen he sailed away
E minorEm             A augmentedA
O'er frozen oceans in the month of May
D MajorD           G+G    D MajorD
To seek a passage around the pole
E minorEm       A augmentedA      G+G    D MajorD   G+G
Where we poor seamen must sometimes go

D MajorD               G+G
Through cruel hardships they mainly strove
E minorEm             A augmentedA
Their ship on mountains of ice was drove
D MajorD             G+G   D MajorD
Only the Eskimo with his skin canoe
E minorEm      A augmentedA    G+G      D MajorD   G+G
Was the only one that ever came through

D MajorD              G+G
In Baffin's Bay where the whale fishes blow
E minorEm            A augmentedA
The fate of Franklin no man may know
D MajorD             G+G    D MajorD
The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell
E minorEm        A augmentedA        G+G     D MajorD   G+G
Lord Franklin alone with his sailors does dwell

D MajorD           G+G
And now my body it gives me pain
E minorEm                 A augmentedA
For my long lost Franklin I would cross the main
D MajorD              G+G   D MajorD
Ten thousand pounds I would freely give
E minorEm      A augmentedA        G+G     D MajorD   G+G  D MajorD
To know on earth that my Franklin does live
